The Journey Continues: A Discovery
I try to walk every morning while the air is still cool, usually covering somewhere between a half- or three-quarters of a mile. On the days I walk, I have more energy throughout the day (especially in the evenings), my blood sugar remains in a healthy range, and my weight stays in the mid-170s. Those early mornings also give me time to think, to pray, to hear the birds, and to watch the rabbits. Together, those moments bring a deep sense of peace and calm. There are both physical and emotional benefits to these daily walks. Recently, I realized those walks mirror something even more important: my daily time with God. About a year ago, I wrote about how I had spent years resisting an active prayer life and regular time in God's Word. In the last few years, however, that has changed. Now I make time each day for prayer, worship, devotion, and Scripture. Today, it struck me that this change has produced just as many tangible benefits as my morning walks. I am a better man.
